Metamorphosis Chronicles | Pt5
The Mosaic
There is a mosaic
Beneath my feet
Pages of poems
Torn and taped together
❀
Beneath the soil
There is blood
And broken bones
A graveyard of moments
When depression had
Chained me to my bed
When betrayals had
Starved me of oxygen
When hopelessness had
Hanged me at the gallows
❀
But those moments are buried
And I have learnt to stop digging them up
❀
Now the pavement has flowers
Peeking through
The scent of new beginnings
Filling the May air
❀
And I can dare to say
That I am finally
Dancing across
A pathway of healing
❀❀❀❀❀

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

"A graveyard of moments" was where I was initially hooked.... but wow, I seriously am loving this series. It's got so many layers of depth and just little gems of relatable truth that speak to me so deeply!! That last stanza created a sense of hope that left me feeling uplifted and excited to see what the next part will hold!! Great work here Poppy!!
